FAQ

What is the breakout configuration?

The cable connects one 200G QSFP56 port to four independent 50G SFP56 ports, allowing a 200G interface to connect directly with multiple 50G network devices.

Is this cable passive?

Yes. It is a passive Direct Attach Copper Cable that uses twinax copper conductors, providing low power consumption and cost-effective short-distance connectivity.

What signaling technology does it use?

The cable uses PAM4 signaling to support high-speed 200G-class connectivity and four independent 50G SFP56 links.

What equipment can it connect?

It can connect 200G QSFP56 ports on switches, servers, or network adapters to four 50G SFP56 ports on compatible network equipment. It is also suitable for compatible InfiniBand HDR environments.

Are different cable configurations available?

Yes. Straight-through and breakout configurations are available to accommodate different rack layouts and network architectures.
